I notice it on my glasses, too, and it has been driving me crazy lately. I use microfiber cloth at home, and it works well, but I'm not in the habit of carrying that around with me. I guess I will need to change my habits (again...I hate how I keep having to do that).
Or you can try what car dealers use to remove tobacco film on the inside of the windows: T-Cut. It's a mildly abrasive paint brightener. Apply a generous amount with a circular wiping motion, using a damp cloth. The dealers leave it until it's gone hard, then scrape it off with a razor-edge window paint remover tool, as found in DIY stores. The glass comes up sparkling bright.
For our purposes you could probably just wait a couple of minutes then wipe it off. Then go round the car and brighten the paint up. This will take a lot longer. Children are good for this bit, however a whip has to be applied, or a reward system if you are one of those liberal types.

Do not use a razor blade on inside back windows, as youcan ruin the defroster...not good on aftermarket window tint either! Lol!
It is so funny I found this thread today 'cos I was just wondering if that funny film on the inside of my windows in my car was from vapeing. Seems that it is although some might be left over as well from when i used to smoke. Thanks for posting this thread and thanks for the gread ideas on how to remove it!
Oh yes and lmao about the new paint color...

I've seen this advertised on TV and noticed them at Bed, Bath & Beyond, but so far haven't popped for one. I think it's contoured to handle inside windshield cleaning.

My friend just bought this a couple days ago at a gas station for $10. Works great!
Been vaping for 5 months in my vehicle, but I don't notice any vapor residue. When I smoked, it was pretty bad tho. It would turn the cleaning cloth brown.
I don't have the residue on my glasses either.

LOL, I'm starting to wonder. Quit smoking 5 months ago, yet have not experienced any of the perks I read about here.
No increased lung capacity
No increased taste
No extra energy
No residue on my windshield
Sheesh, I used to smoke 2 pad for over 40 years.
BTW, whats this little button on my Riva for?
This thread freaked me out when I first saw it. I'm still new to vaping, and it raised a lot of concerns for me that I am continuing to dump crud into my lungs. This whole thing still seems "to good to be true" to me, and I have kind of been fearful that it actually is too good to be true - that I will find something that is actually a big concern for me.
After thinking about it for a while, though, I realized I may still be putting crud into my lungs .... but it is CARCINOGEN FREE crud!! Once intensive studies are done, they may find some negative side effects to vaping ...... but as long as cancer and carcinogens are out of the question, I'll continue to be a happy camper.
I also realized that if you were to vaporize anything other than water, there would probably be some residue after a while. I mean ... if you boiled Jello packets in your car every day for 5 months, it might leave a residue ... but that doesn't make jello bad for you ;-)

Cigarette smoking = thoroughly cleaning glasses every day, if not several times a day. Washing the brown gunk off the car's windows at least once a week whether you felt like it or not.
Vaping = thoroughly cleaning glasses when the dust is so thick you can't see anymore or once a week, whichever comes first, or whenever you feel like it. Washing the car's inside windows at least once a month because of the dust and exhaust fumes.
But, after a few months, I've noticed a blurry film too... but only because I hardly ever thoroughly was my glasses anymore since I've stopped smoking, just a wipe down a few times a day.
Don't forget too, that we're still exhaling bad stuff from our lungs from years of tobacco abuse. Gross but true. If someone were to send samples to a lab, I feel confident they'll find smoking related elements mixed in with the pg/vg/flavorings they find.

I could see the hazy buildup with analogs in a couple days. I have been vaping like mad for the past 9 days in my car and no
buildup. After a couple months, isn't logical that things will accumulate on any surface?
